At the heart of this eight-disc collection of modern naval combat documentaries are all 26 episodes—each one introduced by Peter Graves—of the Emmy and Peabody Award–winning 1952 series Victory at Sea, digitally restored and remastered. Culled from 13,000 hours of footage shot by the U.S., British, German, and Japanese navies, this landmark documentary also boasts a heroic orchestral score by Richard Rodgers and poetic narration by Leonard Graves. The four additional DVDs of the series, Hero Ships, profile the battleships, destroyers, aircraft carries, submarines, and specialized ships from World War II that would constitute an American warship hall of fame.
